## Summary

NHS England has awarded a contract for the provision of Integrated Non-Custodial Offender Health Services in Northamptonshire under urgent circumstances as per the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The process did not include prior publication due to the urgent need to maintain essential health services following an unsuccessful competitive procurement process. The contract, valued at approximately £2.81 million, is for a duration of 18 months starting on the 1st of April 2026. This interim award has been necessitated to provide continuity of services while a comprehensive review of future commissioning intentions and longer-term procurement strategies is carried out. The services include Liaison and Diversion, Mental Health Treatment Requirements, and Reconnect, and primarily cater to addressing both healthcare needs and offending behaviour.

This contract serves as a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in criminal justice and offender health. The awarded contract underlines an immediate demand for effective service provision that ensures uninterrupted healthcare access, making it notably suitable for large healthcare organisations like Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which was awarded the contract. Firms with robust infrastructure to handle urgent service delivery and a track record of working with public sector health commissioning bodies might find expansive growth and partnership opportunities arising from such contracts, especially during the realignment phase of health service provision. This tender exemplifies a situation where providers that can rapidly adapt and deliver under urgent requirements can gain a foothold for future opportunities in public health contracts.

## Notice

The Integrated Non-Custodial Service will provide continuous and seamless non-custodial criminal justice healthcare and support for individuals to address their health care needs and their offending behaviour.

### Procurement Information

Commissioners undertook a competitive procurement process for the service; however, the procurement did not result in the award of a contract. To ensure continuity of essential services and avoid a gap in provision that would adversely affect patients, an urgent contract award is required.
The current arrangement is intended as an interim measure whilst commissioners undertake a review of the future commissioning intentions, service model, and longer-term procurement strategy for this service area. The timescales required to complete this review and implement a subsequent procurement process do not allow sufficient time to undertake a further competitive process before the existing arrangements expire.
Commissioners are satisfied that an urgent award is necessary to maintain safe, effective, and uninterrupted service delivery, protect patient outcomes, and ensure ongoing access to services during the review period. The contract term has been limited to the minimum duration considered necessary to complete the commissioning review and determine longer-term arrangements.
